Can flagyl be taken as an intramuscular injection?

I noticed on Burrascano's pdf that he says something about parernteral therapy which means administering by means other than orally. I wonder if he is suggesting that flagyl can be taken by IM. I would like to give that a try if that's possible. Rocephin hasn't been giving me much improvement, but I have noticed flagyl doing something for my neurolyme. If I took it by IM, I wonder if that would clear up my neurolyme.

Oh, I guess it can:

It also says that it stops protozoa. I suspected that I might have a protozoa infection after I watched a video on youtube about a girl who had lyme really bad, and couldn't get rid of it until she found out it was actually protozoa. Maybe that's why I'm having success with flagyl?

Oh, never mind, it's an IV, not IM.

Wow, there's a lot of side effects with flagyl. I have been dizzy today, not sure if this is from flagyl

Whew - I was reading more about flagyl. Looks like it can have some nasty permanent side effect. One of them is dizziness. I hope this dizziness goes away. Another is peripheral neuropathy:

Maybe I won't be taking this anymore.
